Ida’s
Notebook
by
Ida Risser
For years, I have said, “No
thank you” to people who offered
me old canning jars. But this
month I said that I’d take some
that were offered as I have canned
110 pint of pickles so far. There is
no sign of the patch slowing down
from their 100 cucumbers every
day—so far over 2,000. Yes, I
counted them as I washed them.
Now I must remember to give
some away. .
Last week, as a gift
from our children, we
saw a play “Singin’ In
The Rain” at the Three
Little Bakers Dinner
Theatre in Delaware.
The food was delicious
and the entertainment
interesting. One sur
prise was when my
name was announced
and I was given a
belated birthday cake
from the management.
It is nice to have dessert
on hand during these
busy days of peaches,
tomatoes, beans and
cucumbers.

around to putting more
houseplants in the gar
den. However, I
couldn’t believe all the
weeds that had grown in
the one open area as I
had hoed it just 10 days
before. It is always nice
to have flowers in the
vegetable garden as it
makes the backbreaking
work a bit easier. So, as
I work my way slowly
to the end of the row of
baby lima beans, I’ll
stop and look at my row
of cosmos, zinnias, and
gladiolas that are
planted close by.
